Part II – Lesson Development:
How are we going to search for something in a different country?
- Show students how to brainstorm keywords
- Have them practice searching keywords as class to show their understanding
- Model for students the email they will write to their friend.
- Then allow the students to start doing it on their own.
- If students have similar interests they may work together but they must pick different countries to research.
- Students will create their short message to their friend
